Nothing mindblowing but the tracks are pretty fun.

Fine. Wasn't hugely into it but it's alright.

Enjoyed this quite a lot. Chilled out tracks, nothing mental but very pleasant background.

Pretty forgettable but there's some good stuff here and there. Far from bad.

One of the most annoying voices in pop. Bit of a boring album.

A treat of an album. Back to back ehavy hitting songs, especially near the end.

Pleasant, enjoyed a fair amount.

Can't trust anyone who doesn't think this album is cool as fuck.

As flawed as it is, I love this album to bits. Gabriel's signature brand if epic songwriting condensed into synth-laden 80s bangers. Can't help but adore it.

It's very pleasant, if a bit stuck in traditionalkst country routes. Sounds lovely either way.

Zoo station is good the rest is quite boring in comparison.

Fairly middle of the road. Blandish hard rock with a bit of 80s new wave flair sprinkled on. Not bad but not particularly memorable.

Really cool mix of Sahel folk music and blued. It works really well and is explored in a few different ways which I find cool.

Rumors eccentric rowdy little sibling. Decent if a bit all over the place

Can't help but shake the feeling that queen was a band of theatre kids who happened to be pretty good at making music. Not entirely for me but as usual Brian May deliver some pretty killer guitarwork.

So, after seeing what the first track was - and putting myself through listening to it - I was prepared for a 1 star rating. However as I cracked on with my boring day job, thinking about the review I'd write, something intresting happened. Colour By Numbers delivered some alright tracks. This isn't a good album but it has good moments. I can't help but enjoy Black Money and Changing Every Day - and while it's riddled with 80s cheese and other such elements that stain music of the era, it's not enough to keep it fully down.

Boy George is a twat though.

A bizzare record, so much so that I don't really know what to make of it. It's got Cohen's signature wiring and structure to it, but over these cheesy 80s synths. Some tracks are so eccentric that I actually begin to really like them (Jazz Police), but the rest just melds into an odd-sounding mess.

Sensual, sexy and silky smooth. Records like this don't always work for me but the Urban Hang Suite hits the mark. A delightfully lush and pretty record.

A stone cold classic from the acid era. Being a double album, there are moments that seem slightly unnecessary - but that hardly detracts from the heaps of gold to be found here. The Band had tighter albums but Ladyland has their most talented displays. Just look at the final track for proof.

Fine. Starts of well and has some good guitarwork thoroughout but ultimately more songs I found forgettable.
